"Bette…"
"Please just hear me out T. I know you don’t like listening to what I have to say about him, but I have to say this before it’s too late. And if you tell me that you’re happy, and that you’re sure about what you’re doing, then I won’t bring it up again. But please say you’ll listen to what I have to say"
"….Ok" the blonde answered slowly, focused intently on her friend.
"Tina, how long have we known each other?"
"Like…ten years?"
"And who knows you better than anyone else in the world?"
"You do. And that’s never going to change" Tina replied, taking hold of the brunettes hand and rubbing it with her thumb.
"Exactly. I know you almost as well as I know myself. I can read you like a book. And it’s all in your eyes T. And when I see you talk about Henry, about the wedding, there’s something missing. You don’t get that sparkle in your eyes like you do when you talk about something you’re excited about. You don’t get that same smile with him that you do when you’re truly, truly happy. Maybe you did at the start, but it’s been so long that that’s just a distant memory. I just want you to be happy, and when I see that he doesn’t make you as happy as you can be, it makes me sad. I miss that smile T, the one that can light up a room. And I know it’s still there ’cause it comes out occasionally when you’re with me and the girls. But I’ve never ever seen it when you’re around Henry"
"Wow…" Tina breathed "is that everything?"
The brunette shook her head "No there’s more, and I have to get it out before I lose my nerve"
"Go ahead…"
By now tears were spilling down the brunette’s cheeks. Tina reached up to wipe them away, feeling tears of her own threatening to fall, but she knew she had to hear her best friend out.
"You’re such an incredible person…" Bette started, trying to keep control of her emotions "you really are T, and I know you think I have you on some pedestal, but if I do it’s only ’cause you deserve it. You make everybody smile, you put other people before yourself, and you are always always there for people when they need you. And you deserve someone who treats you as well as you treat other people. And Henry…he takes you for granted T. He tries to buy you off with gifts, tries to cover up the fact that he’s still stuck in the dark ages and thinks that a woman should be there just to run his household. It’s like his gifts are some grand gesture T, but they’re not. A true grand gesture takes time, takes thought, takes love. Not just money. He pretends to listen to your opinion, but never really takes it on board. He’s always right, it’s his way or no way, his life is more important than yours. He judges people, my god, he thinks me and the girls are scum just because of our sexuality. And I know that you’ll never turn your back on us, no matter how hard he tries, but do you really want to be having that fight for the rest of your life? I get that this is your decision, it’s your life, and maybe I’ve overstepped the mark, but I just want the best for you. I love you so much and I don’t want you to settle for him when there’s so much better out there for you"

I’ m crying like a tree year old now!
You and this story are. Killing. Me. Thanks for updating so frequently!!
Oh my poor Bette. My heart is aching for her. I know this will end sweetly though…right? Anxiously awaiting the next post.
I promise I will try very hard to update tomorrow, but it could be Tuesday (my exam is at 3.45 pm). I’m so glad you update so frequently. Each time I see a new chapter I get all giddy and yay and it makes up for this sucky course I’m studying (interesting, but ranting way too long about one particular sub-subject). I look forward to the fortnight they’ll be spending together. I’d say this is Bette’s chance, but you will probably give us lots of almost-moments but eventually leave us hanging in there. I certainly look forward to your next post, the smile and butterfies that come with it! (It’s wicked, actually being in love with a story almost).
You’re absolutely right, that’s what Sundays are for. And Mondays too. And every other day of the week as well, so don’t hesitate posting 3 times a day every day^^ Thank you for this great chapter PPS oh and yeah, you’d better give her this fucking happy ending, cause this is the only way I can get it myself. Yes, I live through fanfix and especially through yours ;)
A third post :O! And what an excellent post it was! I can’t wait until Tina gets her head out of her ass and dumps henry! The selfish part of me wants another post tonight but I’ll settle for tomorrow morning :) Thanks! Loving your story! :D
Where is the forth post?! =P Just kiddin! =PThank you for posting so frequently!
A very touching moment between friends (even if Bette had to be drunk to speak up). Tina has a lot to think about…And I wonder what will happen at the bachelorette party…Once again, you have delivered an excellent update – Kudos to you!!!
This story’s totally addictive… thanks for the triple posts! :)
“You really think I could do better?” Tina asked,- “I could certainly find you a nice girl”… – I bet! ;-D
I really feel for Bette! I was shedding a tear with her. PPS
What a truly beautiful story. Thank you.
What a treat! I leav for 2 days then come back to read the ending of your last story witch was great by the way, to another great fic. I’m beyond thrilled :)
feeling sad for some reason…not that i don’t think tina won’t listen to bette because she already knows something is wrong with henry and she is just settling but she might still marry him because i’m pretty sure she rememvers that night when bette told her she’s in love with her but i think tina thinks that bette didn’t mean it or forgot about it and that’s why she’s marrying henry…ok, i confused myself with this LOL so i just say: love this story, can’t wait to read more :)
I’ve just caught up. Thanks for posting so frequently. Wow! You are a fantastic writer. I feel like I’m on a roller coaster of emotions. I hate Henry! My heart is breaking with Bette. As for Tina, I’m as confused as she is. Please let Tina come to her senses before the wedding.
Unrequited love is so painful.
Amazming and heartfelt Chapter!!! Thank you PPS
Amazing.Thank you.
You put three chapters in one day for…tease!!!But I am impressed with the words Bette said to Tina. And somehow, I would rather Tina end the wedding with Henry because she think it through (maybe a little push by Bette’s words), but not because Bette’s confession.
Oh man, just read all your updates. It’s just so damn sad. Thank you for this story.
Hey, I like these back to back posts. I am hoping there is more football so you are busy writing again. Thanks for the ongoing fine story.
